A Ram Sam Sam

Preschoolers and Kindergarteners have been singing A Ram Sam Sam.  This Moroccan children's song has hand motions to help us keep the beat and show the form of the song.  We have really enjoyed the silly-sounding words in this song.  They have no translation from the Moroccan language, but imitate some of the sounds of the language.  See the lyrics below:

A ram, sam, sam,
A ram, sam, sam,
Guli, guli, guli, guli, guli,
Ram, sam, sam.
Arafi, arafi,
Guli, guli, guli, guli, guli,
Ram, sam, sam.

Hear Mrs. Armington's class perform this song in the video below:
